This game provides students with a number of fun activities to help develop their problem solving skills.  The game addresses aspects of the Number Sense and Numeration strand of the Ministry of Ontario grade 4 math curriculum (Proportional Relationships: describe relationships that involve simple whole-number multiplication, demonstrate an understanding of simple multiplicative relationships involving unit rates, through investigation). Enjoy playing this game with your child!

Hop aboard a pirate ship and test your knowledge of Canada's provinces and capitals as you collect as much treasure as you can! There are 3 levels of difficulty in this game so challenge yourself! If you get through the first level, go back and try a more difficult game.  Good luck!!

Message to Parents:

As part of the grade 4 social studies unit, Canada and World Connections, students are learning to name and locate the provinces and territories of Canada on a map. This game gives students the opportunity to have fun while practicing their knowledge of Canadian geography. The game aligns with the Ministry of Ontario social studies curriculum expectations under Knowledge and Understanding: identify Canada's provinces and territories and Inquiry/Research and Communication Skills: use appropriate vocabulary to describe inquiries and observations.
